It’s officially time for holiday baking! I la-la-love all of the extra holiday items that pop up on the shelves at the end of the year. There are so may desserts just begging to be made. I’ve always been a fan of the Pillsbury® products and they certainly don’t disappoint in the holiday department.
Just look at their adorable sprinkles from the Funfetti Vanilla Frosting. The red and green are vibrant, wonderfully shaped, and hold up well in a 350 degree oven. I love the contrast that the bright colors bring against the Devil’s Food Cake Mix. Wouldn’t they look great on a plate for Santa?
You can doctor up this cake mix into cookies and no one will ever know that they’re not 100% homemade! It’ll be our little secret. After all, we need all the time we can get during the holiday season.
These cookies are full of chocolate flavor. I’d recommend using an oil that you like the taste of. I used extra virgin olive oil and the taste came through pretty easily. Perhaps a vegetable oil would be more tame? Or a coconut oil if you’re a fan of coconut flavor?
I just rolled the tops in the sprinkles since decorating the bottom of a cookie seemed pointless to me. Who looks at the bottom of a cookie? I’m too busy gobbling it down. Here are some of the other Pillsbury products that you can find this holiday season:
